KATHMANDU: With the arrival of Dashain, the Maiti Devi Temple in Kathmandu has undergone a stunning transformation, adorned with a multitude of twinkling lights.

The temple premises and its surroundings have been beautifully embellished, creating an enchanting spectacle that comes to life in the evening.

The sight of Maiti Devi Temple, illuminated by the soft glow of lights, is truly captivating and enhances the festive ambiance of Dashain.

During Dashain, Navadurga Bhagwati, a manifestation of the divine goddess, holds a special place in the hearts of devotees.

Mahanavami, celebrated on Ashwin Shukla Navami each year, is a time when Navadurga Bhagwati is especially venerated. This festival is steeped in tradition and cultural significance.

According to the Markandeya Purana, Mahanavami carries a profound meaning as it is the day when Chamunda Devi triumphed over the demon Raktabeeja.

The historical and religious importance of Mahanavami adds depth to the celebrations, making it a cherished occasion for devotees.

As Navratri comes to a close, devotees from all over the country converge on Shaktipeeths, paying homage and seeking blessings.

This enduring tradition continues to be a source of spiritual fulfillment and devotion as Dashain festivities reach their zenith.

On the day of Ashwin Shukla Pratipada, the ninth goddess Siddhidatri, who is the ninth goddess among Navadurgas, is worshiped properly in the pooja room or Dasain house where Jamara is kept.
